Birthday Boy

We had a wonderful time celebrating little man Liam's 1st birthday! Yes, 1st birthday! Liam is one year old, and I cannot believe how quickly this first year of his life has gone. He is an incredible little boy. He is so full of energy, and is the most determined and persistent child. He is smiley all the time (unless he doesn't get his way--then he throws a little temper tantrum. I didn't know they did that this young?!), and he waves at everyone who will look his way. He is quite the flirt, and smiles at the ladies when we are out and about. He loves trucks and motorcyles and gets super excited when he sees one drive by. He'll ball his little hands into fists and wave them in the air and then point frantically at them to make sure that I see them, too. He is in love with the outdoors. He prefers to be outside every chance he gets. He does baby sign for birds whenever we say 'tweet tweet', and gets the sweetest grin on his face once he spots a bird. Pretty much he is perfect in every way and I couldn't imagine him any other way than the way he is. I love you Liam, you big one year old you!

We kicked off Liam's birthday festivities by first going to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. He loves animals, so we thought he would love the aquarium---and we were right! Here are some fun shots of our time spent there:

It is so fun to experience childhood again through Liam's eyes. That is one of the best parts of being a parent. Everything is so magical and exciting to Liam, and it feels magical and exciting to me, too, by watching him learn and enjoy all of these new experiences and opportunities. I am looking forward to more wonderful birthday's for this sweetest little boy. Happy birthday Liam.
